Dear big bro mac lovers,

I am a nee mac user here, just bought a used macbook air. Tried to reset to factory setting but stuck at reinstall osx. It said something like "A server with the specified hostname could not be found" 😭😭😭

Restarted my mba and tried to go back into utility setting but it turns to this pic ;



Help me please sifu

Sounds like a good idea, but none of my family is using mac 😅

did u try recovery? press command + r

Restart your MBA, hold cmd+r till it is boot on recovery mode, erase your drive and do the rest.
Even though you don't have an installation disc, your MBA should automatically download the required files PROVIDED YOU HAVE A STABLE AND FAST INTERNET CONNECTION. The installation might take few hours. If you feel the progress has stuck for quite some time, you can check if it is unresponsive by checking the log.
I've tried this at least twice before and the installations were successful. The last attempt was 2 weeks ago when I tried to clean install Sierra.

Or just pay and get it done. 30mins or less. Save you from all the troubles
